Grossly entertaining!!!
Is this book for everybody? Absolutely fucking not. This is for a very niche market.
If you've never read Splatterpunk or Extreme Horror before, don't start here. You'll want to ease yourself in more gently than this. This could scar you for life.
I had fun with it. I loved the premise and the gore was non-stop and gag-inducingly detailed. However, I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't enjoy this and that's fine.
To each their own. That's what makes the reading experience so great, it's different for each of us and I love that journey for us all. For Readers who do love Splatterpunk and Extreme Horror, this is a hell of a lot of fun.
If the thought of a demented version of Squid Game played by children on torturous playground equipment is intriguing to you, than you should definitely check this one out.

"This is quite compelling.
I can't wait to get further in.
The children have just entered the playground, so I feel like the shit is about the fan!
The Matthews clan may have a bully, or two, but I think either, or both, of the Grimly girls could be a legit sadist..."

I didn't know splatterpunk was a thing until I picked up this book yesterday. Literally, I just finished it, and wow, never have I ever read anything like this before, but at least I have found I like this genre

LOL -- definitely a memorable one. Were you like, WTF am I reading?! I'm sorry I missed your comment before, but definitely glad you gave this one a shot and that you enjoyed it!
This was also my first splatterlunk book XD. I enjoyed it and am interested in reading more. That said, I did know what I was getting into ahead of time, so I kind of went into it as if I was watching a B-movie and ended up feeling satisfied as a result.

I'm so glad you ended up enjoying it. It's definitely a memorable way to jump into a new genre. I'm sorry I missed your comment before! I hope you've found some new Extreme Horror novels to enjoy since!
I never read it only the synopsis and I HATE IT
